Is it? Does not matter. It is a biased source. I am constantly astonished at our human tendency to take what we damned well know are a biased sources and build that up into what we want to believe. Best way to be: get sources from all angle

Has a woman's name, could be a woman or not. It is a snipe at a very, very tiny, extremely aberrant group. There are a lot on Reddit, sure. Reddit is where the movement was born and grown. Reddit works by rewarding 'group think&#x

The general argument is true, of course. "And, as a fascinating new paper points out, this knowledge can produce "pseudo-placebo effects" in RCTs. That is to say, the expectation of receiving the treatment can cause people to

Pretty much just clickbait for confirmation of bias for those certain male sorts who tend to be heterosexual, but are angry about their role displacement in recent years. (Whether that is perceived or real.) Not sure what anyone gets from t

You have a point about their background, and maybe a point about their leaning towards "pure nurtue" (as in 'nurture versus nature'), though this is actually not said. I am not aware of anyone who does lean pure nurture.

There's sociopathy, but there isn't even a DSM definition for "psychopath". That is a slang term (like sociopathy). Not that the DSM is even meant to be taken entirely literally, but having models for diagnosis and treat
